West Bromwich Albion will go into the weekend placed top of the Championship table and they will be hosting 10th placed Charlton Athletic at The Hawthorns. West Brom have so far managed 26 points, and Charlton are on 21. At the start of October, West Brom lost 1-0 to second placed Leeds United but after that it has been upward for the league leaders. They are unbeaten in their last three matches, winning two and drawing the other. West Brom have the joint best attack in the Championship, with 24 goals in 13 matches. However, they have not been as good in defending and having conceded 15 goals in 13 games, they are so far the poorest defensively in the top three. Of the total 14 matches West Brom have played this season, they have managed just two clean sheets. They have, however, failed to score in just one of the 14 matches – the loss to Leeds United. In the last five matches, West Brom have scored two or more goals in three. In their six Championship games at home, West Brom have not lost any. They have scored in all. They have scored at least two goals in each of the last four home games in the Championship. This is the first time the two sides will be facing off in over a decade.
Charlton were promoted from League One at the end of last season. For a team new to the Championship, they have done well so far. They have six wins in 13 matches and have put up a better defence than West Brom. They have conceded 14 goals so far, one lesser than West Brom. Charlton go to this game straight after a 2-1 loss to Bristol City, one of the four losses they have suffered in the Championship. Charlton have played 14 matches so far in the season, and they have won six. While Charlton have not been as good as West Brom in attack, they have managed to score in each of their last five matches. This will be a very crucial stat as they face a West Brom side with really few clean sheets. Also, each of Charlton’s last four matches have produced over 2.5 goals. However, it has not been easy away from home. In the last three Championship matches away from home, Charlton are winless. They started well with an away win over Blackburn and went on to register seven points in three away matches. However, that has not been replicated in the last three matches, where they have managed just one point. Charlton have one clean sheet in six away matches in the Championship and they have conceded two or more in four of the last five.

Our West Brom vs Charlton Athletic Prediction
Only two points separate West Brom from the team in second place and thus they will be aware of just how crucial this game is to keeping their place. However, Charlton will have their own ambitions too – a win could propel them to third and we expect them to fight. What we feel is likely to separate this sides at the end of it will be the forward lines. Charlton have scored in each of their last five matches but they do not score as many goals as West Brom. On the other hand, West Brom are not very good in defence. We thus feel both sides are good enough to get goals here and we will go with a 2-1 win for West Bromwich Albion.
